A/N: I don't own these characters or the shows they come from. I'm just borrowing them for some fun.
A/N 2: I apologize from the depths of my heart for the lateness. This is the longest I have gone between updates, and I have no excuses. I could say that I've been watching my mom's puppy (yes, the one that bit my thumb) while she is off in California for my nephew's birthday and for Thanksgiving and he's a handful (West Highland Terrier), and I could say that I accidentally slammed the car door on my other thumb while taking said puppy to her friend for a short break, (it's healing well btw), and I could also say that I was studying and taking a big test that will hopefully get me a good full-time job (Post Office exam), all of which is true, but really I've also been suffering from writer's block. All I can do is beg your forgiveness and now that I'll be less distracted hopefully post more often. As always, thanks for your reviews and have a great day!
"Open the Iris." General Hammond said to the tech at the controls, and the Stargate's protection opened. Moments later, the Tok'ra walked through, and the event horizon dissolved.
"Jacob! Glad you are here. We have a situation," Gen. Hammond said to Maj. Carter's father, who was a host to the alien Tok'ra Selmak.
The retired General strode forward and shook Gen. Hammond's hand. "We received the message. Two alien ships discovered in Kansas?" He gestured to his companion. The other Tok'ra was carrying a pack.
"I didn't know what we needed, so I brought a few things to help with identification."
"Yes, two ships and an alien-Dr. Jackson thinks it's like an Unas, but it has two sets of arms and a tail, and at the moment it's causing problems."
Jacob Carter lowered his head, and then raised it.
"General, how can we help?" Selmak asked. The Tok'ra's voice was slightly deeper than that of its host.
Gen. Hammond gestured for the aliens to follow him.
"The creature we found is in the bay with its ship, and it's holding one of our guests hostage. When I left, Dr. Jackson was trying to communicate with it. It broke out of a high security cell and damaged a good part of the base on its way to its ship. It's extremely dangerous, but I think it wants to talk."
"Your message said that you did not detect a Goa'uld within this creature?" Selmak asked.
"That's right, and up until now we've kept it sedated so it would cause no harm. Unfortunately, it seems to have awakened prematurely." Gen. Hammond replied.
He led the Tok'ra towards the bay with the ship, hoping that they could help.
Lex was staring at the creature intently. It seemed to have relaxed a bit, as no one made any threatening motions to it. He was extremely interested in its ship-the reality of a craft from another world. His scientist's mind would love to examine the ship in detail. He had not had any time to examine Clark's ship, and hoped that when the current emergency was over that he would be able to take a closer look at it. At the moment, however, his eyes were trained on the blade at his friend's neck. Clark still was not looking well--Lex suspected it had to be something inside the creature's ship. There was a strange green glow coming from within. Hmm. He cocked his head and looked at the glow more intently. In fact, it was a somewhat familiar green color. His attention shifted when he saw Clark's mother determinedly approach Col. O'Neill.
"Colonel, you have to get my son away from that ship. Please help him." Martha said.
"Don't worry" O'Neill replied, "Daniel's talking to the creature, and usually that's a good thing-he knows what he's doing."
"But-" Martha started then stopped.
At the moment, the military knew about Clark's secret, but not about his weakness. They had held that part back, not thinking that away from Smallville there would be any meteor rocks to cause Clark harm. Now Martha knew that there was a meteor rock in that alien ship-the creature had had some on its claws when it first attacked Clark, and the green glow coming from the ship was unmistakable. Should she reveal this last secret about Clark? Would it help him?
Before she could say anything else, the creature, which had been speaking to Daniel abruptly stilled. Her eyes followed its gaze past the archaeologist to the destroyed bay door, where Gen. Hammond had just entered, two strangers dressed oddly behind him. They looked human she thought, but the creature growled low in his throat and suddenly threw Clark aside, leaping at the strangers with a loud cry.
T'Rog had been willing to negotiate, and could almost understand the alien jabbering at him. He had continued to try to communicate, trying to tell them that he had to check the messages his ship's communication system held. Only others of his kind knew his frequency, so at least he knew there were other survivors of his race. Then he saw them, the glowing eyed ones that had destroyed his world when his people had refused to bow to them. Their scent was unique-different from the similar looking creatures that filled the bay. With a battle cry, he leaped at his enemies armed only with the knife and his claws, too enraged to dig into his ship for a better weapon.
Clark hit the ground somewhat away from the alien ship with a thud. The green glow dissipated and the blood on his neck instantly dried. His veins went back to normal and his skin regained its normal color. He breathed quickly then got up, feeling enormously better. He watched as the creature got closer to the strangers and saw Gen. Hammond move aside. The older stranger raised a familiar looking weapon-he realized it was the Zat gun-and fired it at the creature. The big alien was not deterred and the stranger was about to shoot the creature again when Clark focused his x-ray vision on a hunch. He gasped-the two strangers had those snake-like Goa'uld inside them! He kicked into super speed without really knowing what he was about to do, only sure that though the creature had hurt him, for some reason he didn't feel it was evil, while his new friends had told him that the Goa'uld were bad news.
One moment Selmak was raising the Zat gun to fire twice on the attacking creature, the next the weapon was ripped from his hand and thrown across the bay. The creature was suddenly thrown from its course and knocked to the ground, and the weapons that the soldiers had started to fire were grabbed and thrown, as though a great wind was scouring the bay. Then Selmak unexpectedly found a young man standing in front of him, glaring at him.
To be continued.
(Hopefully soon! I promise.)
